Greetings from the Global Center for Siddha Medicine and Research (GCSMR) the organization started in the United States and India to spread ancient knowledge of Siddha medicine, food and rejuvenation to healthy life for everyone. As a first step in this endeavor, we want to setup an “Center for Advanced Research in Siddha, Varmam and Integrative Medicine {CARSIVAM} at Manipal Academy of Higher Education (Formerly known as Manipal University)" in Karnataka where Allopathy and Siddha doctors will work in unison to establish the benefits of Allopathy and Siddha medicine in certain chronic health conditions. We will be conducting clinical trials and the results will be published in peer reviewed journals.


A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed with Manipal University, Karnataka, India in 2020 and GCSMR has agreed to fund the center with Indian Rupees of 2.5 Crores (approximately $345K US$) to be matched by Manipal Academy. It is anticipated that the center will become self- sufficient by generating its own revenue after the initial funding.


The goal is to raise US $ 350,000, However, we want to reach an interim target of $100,000 by July 2021 so that the center can start functioning in a meaningful way. A message from the former Vice Chancellor of Manipal University after the signing of the MOU can be viewed here. (video). Highlights of the MOU are attached,


Through this we are appealing to your generosity to donate generously to establish the center and propagate Siddha outside Tamilnadu. Any donation is welcome whether large or small and you can make a commitment and pay it over a period of 3 years. All donations will be used for setting up the center since currently all the overhead cost associated with running GCSMR is funded by the directors and officers of GCSMR
